LlamaGuard NAV: Accelerating RWA Adoption in DeFi With Risk-Managed Oracles
Tokenized real-world assets promise to unify traditional and decentralized finance — but integration friction continues to slow adoption. LlamaGuard NAV, built on Chainlink CRE, introduces risk-managed NAV feeds that make institutional products plug-and-play for DeFi protocols. This session explores how verifiable NAV data, dynamic bounds, and embedded safeguards reduce friction for RWA integrations and unlock the next wave of institutional liquidity onchain — with transparency, reliability, and automated risk control at its core.
